Spotify for Windows Phone 8, which has launched in beta, includes all of the same features as its Android and iOS counterparts, granting subscribers access to a music library containing millions of tracks.

Account holders can compile playlists, share music with friends and take advantage of a range of app-based add-on services.

The application is free to download and includes a free 30-day trial to the premium service, which costs £9.99 per month after that.

Spotify confirmed in December last year that its user base doubled during 2012 and now exceeds 20 million subscribers, 5 million of which hold premium accounts.
